Well in theory there is a way to tell, but it is dependent on a few things.
You'd need a method to look at the genetics at a level able to tell individuals apart (usually) like microsats. Then you'd have to have enough sequenced.
You'd then need a database of other likely cultivars. This could get expensive and time consuming if you have to make this from scratch, but if you limit it to things it would likely be 75 years ago it might be less intensive.
In theory if you do enough markers you get a unique patterns and could tell an individual apart. In an ideal situation there'd be someone who researches mangos with a database willing to look at your sample. It might be worth searching if someone works on the genetics of mangos.
